Nursing Student Re-Admission and Re-Entry

Nursing students who are dismissed for academic reasons may submit an appeal for readmission. A student may be readmitted to the nursing major one time.

Students seeking readmission must write an appeal letter to the admissions committee demonstrating insight, awareness of the factors contributing to the lack of success and a plan for addressing and resolving those factors. The letter is due within 7 days of notification of dismissal.

The following will negatively impact the student’s appeal for readmission:

1. Academic integrity violations
2. Failure of the same course twice (See Nursing Student Grading and Nursing Student Progression Policies)

Nursing students are ineligible for Re-Admission to the Nursing program after 3 dismissals and subsequent appeals, and must follow the Nursing Student Re-Entry process.

Nursing students who are requesting Re-Entry are required to do the following:

• Write a letter to the Program Director seeking re-entry that specifies the reasons the student stopped attending or withdrew.
• Request an updated criminal background check with school-approved vendor. Verify clinical requirements with school-approved vendor. Complete other written or skills assessments deemed necessary to evaluate placement into the core courses adequately.
• Complete standardized test that is consistent with course-level at time of departure. Achieve an ATI level II or higher to re-enter at that specific course level.
• If approved to re-enter, abide by the requirements identified by the Admissions Committee relative to coursework or remediation.
